# Tipping in Siena: What Americans Get Wrong
Tipping is the single biggest source of US-traveler over-spending in Italy. Read this before dinner.
What visitors ask
Restaurants?
Not expected. €1–3 round-up is generous. 10% is unusual; 20% is bizarre.
Coperto?
€2–4 'cover charge' per person is on most bills — that's not a tip, it's bread/table.
Bars/cafés?
No tip. Coffee at the counter is €1.20 and that's it.
Taxis?
Round up to the next euro.
Hotel housekeeping?
€1–2 per night if you wish.
Local tip
If a waiter aggressively pushes a 'service charge' on tourists only, ask politely. It is not legally required.
